Welcome to the Broadford Library Weekly Newsletter!
Each week, we will be bringing you a look back on the previous week in the library, including the fun that our lunchtime library clubs have had, new books, children's book reviews, library displays and much more!

Lunchtime library club
Last Monday, we celebrated the Year of the Snake for Chinese New Year. The children were given a snake to colour, and were then excited to cut it out and watch it spiral round. Everyone was keen to add their first sticker onto their Library Cards. Once the children have collected 5 stickers, they will be able to pick a prize.
Chatterbooks sessions
Last week, the KS1 Chatterbooks groups enjoyed listening to The True Story of The 3 Little Pigs! We all discussed the story and whether we believe the wolf's version to be true.
New KS2 Chatterbooks groups have been enjoying the Chatterbox Bear, a funny story about friendship and communication. All of the groups completed shared reads of the book, before working together to answer questions about what they had read. 10/10 all round! Well done everyone.
New in the Library
We have been very fortunate to receive a wonderful donation of Dirty Bertie books. These books follow the comic capers of Dirty Bertie – the world’s grubbiest trouble magnet!
Dirty Bertie is a hugely popular series featuring the character created by David Roberts and written by Alan MacDonald. With each hilarious story split into bitesize chapters, Dirty Bertie is ideal for building reading confidence, with a recommended reading age of 5-8 years - perfect for our younger library visitors.
Library Displays
Last Wednesday, we celebrated Chinese New Year. This year is the Year of the Snake, which represents wisdom, knowledge, intelligence, intuition and creativity. The children who visited the library enjoyed looking up the year that they were born and what animal it was!

Urgent request - Returning borrowed library books
We have had lots of lovely new books added to the library collection over the past couple of months but, unfortunately, many of them have been borrowed by children and never returned to the library. Please can you check at home to see if you have any Broadford library books (stamped inside/Broadford logo attached). If you do, please pass them to your child to return to the library asap, where our Book Monster is waiting to eat them! Thank you.
